In the two decades since Sergio Ramírez left active politics as a Sandinista leader of one of the great leftist revolutions of the Americas, his output as a writer and the appreciation of his literary achievement have only grown larger, culminating in his winning the Cervantes Prize, the highest literary accolade for a writer in the Hispanic world.

These stories dating from early in his writing career and also marking his return to literature after a gap of some years in active politics, testify to the subtlety, delicacy and wit of Nicaragua’s leading literary voice.

Industry Reviews

“Among people who read Spanish, there has long been a small cult surrounding Dr Ramírez and his biting and satirical short stories.” NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW

“The Centerfielder, a heartbreaking tale of an ex-ballplayer imprisoned and insidiously executed by the [Somoza-era] National Guard, is one of the best examples of the fusion of art and politics this reviewer has ever read….The Perfect Game—a sensitive portrait of the relationship between a father and his son, a pitcher who almost achieves perfection---is endowed, as are all these stories, with a down-to-earth humane elegance.”

SAN FRANCISCO EXAMINER

“The freshness, force, and sheer bite of Stories is a complete delight.” PUNCH

“These are wondrous, poignant tales that capture the reader’s attention. Extremely well crafted, perceptive narratives….” CHOICE
